Japanese theater, Kabuki is all about actions. I haven´t deeply researched about it yet, but i know that the text is very simple and basic. The actors have to have extravagant costumes, and in most cases make-up and wigs. The main theme all the plays share are spirits, warriors, a little romance and fights. All the fights in Kabuki are choreographed, almost all the play is choreographed, i will be in charge of this on the play of next year. The costume and the choreography come hand with hand when it comes to production. That is what i am basing my research on. It depends a lot on the fabric and design of the costume with the dances and steps of the choreography to work.
All Kabuki plays are very visual, they have to have a lot of colors, big impacting images like scenery and props. Usually this plays need a runway extension on the stage for the characters to dance.
I have a lot more research to make, focusing more on costumes and dancing.
